Gemtree Wines in McLaren Vale has partnered with Senior Cultural Custodian, Karl Winda Telfer of Yellaka to share Tirkandi – an inspiring journey of Culture, Connection and Country.

Karl is a senior man from the Mullawirra Meyunna (dry forest people/family clan) which is known today as the Kaurna Nation from the Adelaide region. He is a designer, artist, educator and co-founder of Yellaka – “Old Wisdom – New Ways”, an initiative to keep young people strong in culture and identity, through cultural teachings and learnings.

Sharing his cultural knowledge and connection to country at many places and events, Gemtree is honoured to partner with Karl.

Through small group events taking place from March to October 2021, Karl will share his knowledge and heritage within the idyllic setting of the Gemtree Eco-Trail, set among native gumtrees and wildlife.

The one-kilometre trail reveals the unique and diverse habitat that has evolved through a regenerative commitment to the land by Gemtree owners, Melissa and Mike.

The Tirkandi experience continues in the Tasting Room, where guests can sample some of the finest Gemtree wines.

All Gemtree wines are certified organic and biodynamic, with their exceptional quality and flavours an authentic reflection of their birth soil – wines grounded in the earth.
